Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

The next day, Mo Yuming got up early, climbed to the top of the sloping stone beside the pool, and found a relatively flat spot to sit down. Then, he took out the animal hide scroll from his pocket.

This animal hide scroll is slightly blackened, unlike the other inheritance scroll, and has no seals or protection.

Mo Yuming easily removed the outer seal and slowly unrolled the scroll.

The animal hides used to make the scrolls were thin and flexible, and when unrolled, they were five or six feet long.

The animal hide was covered with tiny, densely packed writing. Fortunately, Mo Yuming didn't have trypophobia, otherwise he would have found it impossible to look at.

It took Mo Yuming two whole hours to finish reading the contents of the scroll.

Perhaps it was intentional on the part of this person named Ren Wuxing that he did not present his self-created cultivation method in an orderly and complete manner, but instead recorded the process of creating this method in the form of a memoir in his daily cultivation insights.

Therefore, to cultivate this technique, one must read his memoirs.

Only in this way can one fully understand the cultivation techniques and precautions of this set of exercises from the entire record.

After reading the autobiography, Mo Yuming learned that the old man named Ren Wuxing was originally named Pericles and was a foreigner born on Losa Island, which was 19,000 miles away from the Tianxuan Continent.

Kerry was born on Lothar Island, where, due to the island's geographical environment, the inhabitants can only practice a technique called Yin Sha Body Refining Technique.

Once mastered, this technique can rival profound martial arts.

To cultivate this technique, one needs to absorb the yin energy in the seawater, so the closer one is to the sea, the better the effect.

However, Kerry came from a poor family and lived in the mountains hundreds of miles from the sea.

From a young age, Ke Li had a deep longing for cultivation. He would often go alone to a pool in the back mountain to cultivate, imagining the pool as a vast ocean, hoping to cultivate profound skills through this method.

After years of arduous training, Kerry did not cultivate Yin Sha essence, but he did develop divine power.

At ten years old, he was stronger than an average adult, agile, and unafraid of the cold.

When he was ten years old, a heavy snow fell on Lothar Island, and Kerry went out hunting alone to improve the food for his family.

When he returned home with his prey at dusk, he discovered that his entire family had been murdered by passing bandits.

He was orphaned from that moment on. Enraged by this tragedy, Kerry vowed to avenge his father's death.

Alone, he followed the bandits' trail for thousands of miles, but when he arrived near a place called Motie City, he lost track of his enemies and fainted from hunger in the snow.

Fortunately, he was taken in by a kind man named Old Iron Head, and Kerry lived in Iron City for three years.

Three years later, Kerry ran into a girl named Xiaoyin on the street.

To rescue Xiao Yin, who had been captured by the young master of the Chen family, Ke Li plotted to kill three of the young master's henchmen and kidnapped the young master himself. He escaped from Mo Tie City with Xiao Yin and her brother, and resumed their life as a wanderer.

During his time on the run, Ke Li obtained a set of advanced Yin Sha Body Refining Techniques from the young master of the Chen family.

Through comparative practice, he modified this set of techniques to create a completely new cultivation method. This method allows him to absorb the essence of his enemies to enhance his own cultivation.

With this technique, Kerry was in his element and entered a cheat-like mode.

He enhanced his cultivation by devising ways to capture enemies and then absorbing their Yin energy.

Soon, his cultivation level in Xuan Gong (a type of martial arts) skyrocketed.

Three years later, at the age of sixteen, Kerry successfully advanced to the Body Refinement Realm.

Three years later, his cultivation reached the Refining Organs Realm.

He became one of the most accomplished young people on Lothar Island.

At nineteen, Kerry had already become one of the top fighters on the entire island of Lothar.

Losa Island boasts nine major cities, including Moro City, Neptune City, Desert Iron City, Ancient Pavilion City, and Golden Shark City. The five prominent families of Wei, Ji, Yao, Teng, and Mu are considered the elite on Losa Island, controlling over 70% of the island's industrial resources.

The second-class aristocratic families, such as Chen, Hu, Meng, Kang, Si, Hao, and Wu, controlled 20% of the resources, while the ordinary islanders, who made up 90% of the population, possessed less than 10% of the remaining resources.

Under the oppression and plunder of the powerful families, the island's inhabitants are plunged into misery.

For centuries, islanders have risen up in resistance, but due to their weakness and lack of strength, they have all ultimately failed.

After advancing to the Body Refinement Realm, Kerry began his revenge plan, determined to change this cruel world.

With the help of his companions, Kerry finally learns that the murderer of his family is Wei Lingyao, the third son of the Wei family, the head of the five major families.

The five major families wield absolute power on Lothar Island, making it virtually impossible to seek revenge against the Wei family.

No matter how difficult it is, Kerry will never give up his irreconcilable hatred.

To avoid implicating his brothers, Kerry disguised himself as a wandering knight-errant, robbing the rich to help the poor, and specifically targeting the disciples of powerful families.

He successively killed dozens of elite disciples from the Chen, Meng, and Yao families, and created numerous incidents to frame the Ji and Teng families, thereby provoking conflicts between the major families and thus weakening their power.

After Kerry left, his brothers who had fought alongside him formed a secret organization headed by thirteen sworn brothers, which they named the Black Hawk Alliance.

They planted spies in various cities, forming an underground intelligence network to gather intelligence and silently and unconditionally support Kerry in their own way.

Time and again, he helped Kerry resolve crises and provided intelligence.

Ten years later, a lone wolf using the alias "Ren Wuxing" suddenly appeared, becoming famous in both the underworld and legitimate society. Major families hated him to the bone, yet were powerless to do anything about it.

He escaped numerous large-scale pursuits and blockades unscathed, becoming a nightmare for the major families.

Over the course of the past decade, due to Ren Wuxing's constant meddling, the twelve great families were no longer on good terms and gradually split into three factions.

The Wei, Chen, and Kang families maintained a neutral stance on the surface, while the Ji, Yao, Si, and Meng families formed a faction. The Teng, Hu, Mu, Hao, and Wu families formed an alliance.

In the years of open and covert struggles between the two factions and the eight major families, the family power has been continuously depleted and their strength is not what it used to be.

Meanwhile, the Wei, Chen, and Kang families, who appear to be neutral, are also not having an easy time.

Ten years ago, after Kerry plotted to kill the young master of the Chen family, the Chen family used their family power to hunt down Kerry in retaliation, but were instead ambushed by Kerry, who destroyed the Chen family's spiritual academy in one fell swoop.

The entire elite Chen family members who were training at the academy were wiped out, almost severing the foundation of the Chen family. As a result, the Chen family never recovered and became the weakest of the twelve major families.

The Kang family was originally the weakest of the twelve major families.

Although the Weaver family is the most powerful family, all of Kerry's actions are aimed at taking revenge on the Weaver family.

So, although the Wei family did not suffer any losses on the surface, in reality, due to the deliberate instigation of Kerry and the Black Hawk Alliance, they had already been abandoned by their own people.

The major clans were increasingly dissatisfied with its self-serving behavior, but they temporarily yielded to its intimidation, daring to be angry but not daring to speak out.

Three years later, at the age of thirty, Ke Li's cultivation reached the peak of the Refining Organs Realm. Apart from a few reclusive Profound Body Realm elders from the five top families, he had no rivals.

As his strength increased, Kerry's confidence began to swell. When he acted, he no longer made such a fuss about hiding his whereabouts. Sometimes he would even deliberately provoke and kill people from these aristocratic families and plunder their shops.

Kerry's smooth sailing led him to neglect self-examination, ultimately resulting in irreparable flaws on his path of cultivation.

Cultivation achieved by absorbing the power of others is ultimately somewhat superficial. If it is not refined and solidified in time, it will harbor hidden dangers.

After reaching the peak of the Organ Refining Realm, these hidden dangers begin to appear and can suddenly flare up uncontrollably.

The first potential threat arose during the battle against five elders from powerful families who had reached the Body Refinement Realm.

His internal energy suddenly became disordered, causing his true qi to malfunction and his skill to drop to less than 30% of its usual level, resulting in a significant decrease in his combat power. What should have been an easy victory turned into a defeat.

Kerry was forced to flee wounded.

If it weren't for the Black Hawk Brothers' risky rescue, who secretly provided cover and simultaneously sent men to attack the properties of nearby noble families, triggering a large-scale conflict and creating chaos, causing the five elders of those noble families to hesitate and not pursue him with all their might, Kree would probably not have escaped this calamity.

However, the Black Hawk Brothers who participated in the rescue of Kerry suffered heavy losses, with several brothers tragically losing their lives.

Afterwards, thanks to the treatment of several highly skilled doctors, Kerry barely recovered.

This sudden turn of events left Kerry bewildered. He consulted many friends in the underworld, but none could offer a clear explanation. Kerry's situation was unique; he didn't practice the Yin Sha Body Refining Technique, and there was no precedent to follow.

Finally, an experienced old man said that it is rumored that when the Yin Sha Body Refining Technique is practiced to its extreme, a Yin Sha backlash phenomenon will occur.

If one cannot further transform into the Yin Sha Xuan Body, the Yin Sha Poison will erode the dantian, resulting in the complete loss of cultivation or even death.

When transforming into the Yin Sha Xuan Body, one needs to take the Du'e Pill to neutralize the Yin Sha poison in the body.

Only by transforming into the Yin Sha Mystic Body can one truly become a practitioner of profound arts and no longer fear the corrosive effects of the Yin Sha poison. However, the transformation process is extremely dangerous.

However, these are all just hearsay and rumors.

On Lothar Island, there are very few people who can cultivate to the peak of the Refining Organs Realm, let alone advance to the Profound Body Realm.

Moreover, the Crossing-the-Calamity Pill is only available to the Wei family, and its price is outrageously high; ordinary people couldn't afford even one pill even if they went bankrupt. Therefore, throughout history, a Xuan Ti Realm expert has only been a legend on Losa Island.

However, the spirit-absorbing technique that Kerry cultivated was very different from the Yin Sha Body Refining Technique, so it was impossible to determine whether the problems he faced were the same as those of the Yin Sha Body Refining Technique.

But the current situation leaves Kerry with no other choice.

After their previous defeat, all the major families mobilized and dispatched a large number of experts to carry out the largest-scale manhunt.

Kerry could only flee and evade pursuit, and had no time to calmly study the trial.

Left with no other choice, Kerry had to hide deep in the mountains and forests, and the Black Hawk Brotherhood sent several of its members to impersonate him in order to confuse the situation.

During these ten years of fighting, Kerry acquired many rare treasures, secret manuals and elixirs, but he only had one Tribulation-Crossing Pill, which he obtained from the young master of the Chen family.

In a deep mountain cave, Kerry swallowed the Tribulation Pill. After refining it, his inner energy was indeed temporarily calmed, and his cultivation level returned to its previous strength.

However, he also clearly sensed that the hidden dangers had not been completely eliminated and could flare up at any time.

He can only use 30% of his power to fight now, otherwise it will cause hidden dangers.

Kerry understood that a single Ephemeral Pill could not cure his hidden ailment.

To further enhance his strength and completely resolve the hidden dangers within his body, the only way is to go to the Wei family and obtain a sufficient quantity of the Tribulation-Crossing Pills.

But if you want revenge and to obtain the Du'e Pill, you must go to Moro City.

Moro City is located on the west coast of central Losa Island. It is a peninsula jutting out of the mainland, surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side. There is only one roadway in and out, making its geographical location extremely treacherous.

The Wei family had heavily guarded the entrance, and people entering and leaving the city were subject to strict searches, making it very difficult for Kerry to enter Moro City by land.

After careful consideration, Kerry decided to first disguise himself as a commoner and infiltrate Sea King City. Sea King City and Moro City had very frequent maritime trade, making it easier to enter Moro City by sea.

Neptune City is the second largest city on Lothar Island, controlled by the Ji family, one of the five major clans. The city lord, Ji Wuji, is the current head of the Ji family.

Sea King City, as its name suggests, is where the Ji family excels in maritime affairs compared to other families, and their main industry is fishing. The cultivators in the city primarily make a living by hunting sea monsters.

The bone-feathered arrows used by Wei Lingyao were made from the bone spikes of the sea shark demon and the fins of the red-feathered fish demon.

All the materials used came from Sea King's City. The flesh and bones of the siren were extremely precious materials.

Both the Shark Demon and the Crimson Feather Fish Demon are extremely ferocious fish demons in the sea. The Shark Demon is bloodthirsty and warlike, with extremely strong combat power; its serrated teeth can crush entire rocks.

Upon smelling blood, it goes into a frenzy and will not stop until it has crushed its opponent.

The Crimson Feather Fish Demon has a snake-like body and three pairs of crimson feather-like fins. With a slight tremor of its fins, it can swim silently and at great speed, like lightning in the water. In a flash of red light, it disappears without a trace.

The Crimson Feather Fish Demon has a sharp, long snout that can penetrate a sturdy fishing boat with a high-speed attack.

Therefore, hunting these two types of sea monsters is extremely dangerous and costly. As a result, the shark monster's bone spikes and the red-feathered fish monster's fins are very expensive, and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.

Kriben was a child who grew up in the mountains and couldn't swim. Although with his current cultivation level he was not afraid of the erosion of Yin energy, he was still very unaccustomed to life in the water.

After infiltrating the Sea King's City, he lived in anonymity, working in the sea to adapt to the water. During those three years, he worked as a laborer, a sailor, and later joined a mercenary hunter team to hunt sea monsters.

Throughout the entire process, he suppressed his cultivation level to the mid-stage of Qi Refining, which is why no one recognized his identity for three years.

Three years later, with the help of the Black Hawk Alliance, he successfully infiltrated the Ji family fleet and became a mercenary hunter.

In order to gain the trust of the Ji family, he disguised himself as a submissive and easygoing good-natured person.

After deliberately flattering and fawning, he finally gained the approval of a talkative and eccentric old steward surnamed Ji, and was kept by his side as a follower.

With Kerry's constant flattery and praise, the butler trusted Kerry more and more, regarding him as a confidant.

By chance, the Ji family's main fleet encountered danger at sea, and the entire Ji family set sail to rescue them.

Meanwhile, the Wei family launched a sea hunt that takes place every few years.

The sea hunt is an excellent opportunity for these aristocratic scions to improve their combat skills and unleash their potential, so these families actively participate.

In the past, the guards sent by the Ji family were all from their own direct guard, but this time the incident was sudden and their own guard was insufficient, so they had to select some trustworthy hunters from mercenary hunters to fill the gaps. Kerry happened to be selected.
